There’s an old saying: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”“Throwing the ball away is the reason he doesn’t have int’s” could be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. That’s like saying the only reason somebody doesn’t have aids is because they wore a condom. That’s literally what you’re supposed to do.
Rodgers still sees more complicated coverages than any qb in the league not named Brady.
Its amazing the stuff I read on here. Same dude said Sean Payton was overrated lol.
I think I’ll just start not even paying attention to the lunacy lol.
Yes, every QB throws the ball away.
However, there is a fine line between being smart and avoiding risks and flat out playing scared.
Rodgers shattered the QB record for throwaways last season, and was pretty close to hitting it again this year.
See these links:
Aaron Rodgers set to shatter PFF's throwaway record
PFF Analyst Ben Linsey digs through the PFF history books and explains why Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers is on track to shatter PFF's throwaway record.
Aaron Rodgers avoids interceptions by throwing the ball away at a record rate
The one thing Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still doing well in this disappointing season is avoiding interceptions.
Brady did the same thing this year.
It’s why their INT ratios remained low despite their - by the standards they set - poor play.
When you completely give up on plays, yes you save yourself from a potential turnover, but you also give up the possibility of a big play.
More pass interference calls were made this year than ever before.
In fact, there’s a case to be made that throwing up a 50/50 ball 40 yards down the field is a more efficient play than simply chucking it into the ground.
As for your claim that Rodgers sees the “most complicated” defenses in the league, that is just simply preposterous.
You honestly think that when a team is playing a different QB other than him or Brady, they say “Hey guys, we’re going to go with the B Scheme this week.”
Absolutely not.
Maybe back in the day, when half the QBs in the league were scrubs, they would play basic schemes.
Not anymore.
There are way too many good QBs.
Drew Brees isn’t seeing complicated coverages?
Mahomes?
Watson?
C’mon now.
